A Little "Theme" Riddle

Llandaff?

Yes.

Worked out what the answer is,
To your delightful little quiz.

This is quite a clever test.
But I won't spoil it for the rest.

I'll relax and eat a Twix
And leave you to your little tricks. :o)

Oh, don't eat it, or you'll grow fat
and turn into one of that
of which we've chatted recently.
Of this I'm sure - just wait and see! :-o

I.ve just looked through your favourite,s David and is it themed on James,s favourite book ?

Yes, you're right, my dear Janette!
But, please, don't spill the beans just yet.

Secrets safe with me David I have a good memory lol

I can gues the author but that's all.

You probably can, Hywel, as he was born in your own country. Would you care to give us the name? Nariz was spot-on with Llandaff as his birthplace.

Clue:- The pics in this blog relate to the story, but for what is the place with the park famous for?

TT and Janette, feel free to help. Grammazoo (by private message), you are spot-on!

Bonnie Prince,
The name to savour.
Late night mints,
Reveal this flavour. :o)

OH !
Right I know now.
( thanks for the extra clues lol )

Well done, Hywel.
I'm sure you came up with a tasty title. :o)

Yes, Hywel (in reply to your message), that's it Now then, who is going to be first to post the author and the correct title of the book here? (I need to get on with the project, lol!),

TT, your verse is gr8! I like the "Bonny Prince" reference, as this part is going to be a major feature" in the garden.

David ~
I'm pleased you like my verse.

Did you see my mention on another thread of
Saxifraga Fortunei Black Ruby ?
I have this plant and it looks very delicious. :o)

TT, have searched but can't find it!

Are you going to post the author and theme here now, so I can begin putting up some new pics, lol? Will post one of Lucky as soon as he sits still long enough!

Roald Dahl ~
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

You could get chubby choosing the plants for this one. :o)

You found my mention of Black Ruby.
It's under your latest photo of Blueberries. :o)

So I did!

Yahoo! Congratulations, TT!

Now I can change my profile and begin again. X

doh!! brilliant david, i wish i had read this first :-)

Never mind, Lyd, you worked it out without any clues!

Did you know that Roald Dahl's garden has been open to the public, David ?
I am so envious of you sharing his books with your children. They were very popular with the children I taught, but nothing could beat the experience of sharing them with my own children. When we were reading Roald Dahl storytime became a very special time of day, we would all snuggle up together on one of the children's beds and share our thoughts about the story so far before hanging on every word of that evening's installment. Around that time the County museum created a wonderful hands on Roald Dahl gallery which was a must to visit. I believe it was the inspiration for the Roald Dahl Museum as it is today in Great Missenden.
Maybe I will be able to share the experience again one day if I have grand-children.

I've read about his garden, Xela, and the white brick shed with the yellow door, where he wrote. Will make a point of visiting the museum next time we're down that way.

One of James' "tasks" is to write down all the key words in the book, and then we all talk about how we can depict them in our garden. The kids do, however, like me to lie in bed with them and read the books aloud in "silly" voices. I do think that they are hilarious!

Hope you didn't mind me dropping your name into the "riddle"? Best Wishes!

Of course I didn't mind, David. Be sure to let me know when you are down this way, would love to meet up if at all possible. Dahl's garden and the museum aren't far from each other, it may be possible to see both on the same day.
I 'spect James will not be the only one coming up with key words, your enthusiasm for this project is quite contagious! I think you are bound to find plants being suggested here on GoY. :-D

Will do, Xela. We should actually have been heading down south today, but decided just to have a "lazy" week off at home instead. Also, the suggestions have started coming in, many thanks for them.
